Tonya Harding v Nancy Kerrigan
Ice skating may not seem like the obvious choice for a violent dispute, but that is exactly what happened in 1994 ahead of the USA national championships.
Harding hired Shane Stant to break Kerrigan’s leg so that she could not compete in the event and although the attack didn’t actually do this, the latter was forced to pull out of the competition in any case.
As a result Harding was given three years probation, 500 hours of community service and was banned from the sport for life.
